Playing on the association: Devil = alternative = Trump. Not actually Satan worshiping. More like Satan projecting.

Excellent sauce. My congratulations to the chef.

He was talking about the rough water and weather around Cape Horn, which is the way you would have to travel without the Panama Canal.

Was not the mural defaced by a lightning stroke? You want to deny nature and uphold a groundless fantasy?

Using a laser to start a fire is like using an atomic-powered Rolls-Royce to drive to 7-11. That is not a design mission for any DEW developed to date.

Because there is NO EVIDENCE. And it makes no sense. Fire arrows from an arbalest make more sense.

It's Biden. He's a perfect stooge: all the mental acuity of Howdy Doody. And the disgusting primal habits of a dog that always wants to hump your leg. He is so corrupted, he is as pliable as Silly Putty, and comes away with a distorted face. Why go to the trouble of finding and preparing actual actors to perform in the way that Biden does for free, on autopilot?

"Watching a movie" is just a metaphor for watching a spectacle. And a spectacle can be a mixture of plan and pathos. Nobody needs Biden to stumble 3 or 4 times going up the stairs to Air Force One---but, hey, it doesn't hurt, so why be concerned? He can still piss in your face and the media will call it rain. Nothing is off kilter from their plan. That's the way they think. They are not only tone deaf, they are optics blind. Certain things have a pre-ordained end, by nature if by nothing else, so the "movie" will come to an end, but not because WE are determining what the script IS. Trump and Q may be determining what the script will NOT be. Herding cats, as it were. Down a funnel that they may not see, but have apprehensions about...and therefore become more and more panicky. Panic engenders false moves, errors, and failures.

There is a martial art called "aikido." As much as I understand it, aikido perfects the tactic of taking an opponent's offense and exaggerating it beyond the opponent's intention. He comes at you with an outstretched fist to deliver a blow---but you seize his arm and pull as hard as you can in his intended direction to cause him to stumble and stagger beyond you, possibly even to fall to the ground. It seems to me that Trump & Co. are doing this with the Deep State. The indictments have that smell.

This is one of the very good reasons for having a non-electric vehicle with 4-wheel drive and high ground clearance (and a constantly filled full tank of gas).

I had this epiphany a long time ago, when I had purchased a Jeep Cherokee. I was with my spouse in a large parking lot, headed for a store, when we discovered the parking lots did not communicate. There was a curb barrier between where we were and where we wanted to be. The conventional thing would have been to backtrack, get back out onto the main road, travel to the entrance to the other parking lot, and then get to our destination. A lot of bother to shift our position about 40-50 feet. And then I realized I WAS DRIVING A JEEP. So, I put it into low range 4WD and slowly crept over the curb, with much rocking and rolling. My spouse was all "What in heck are you doing?" And I was beside myself with hilarious laughter. Simple as could be. Why have such a vehicle if you are not going to use it?

At that level, it means that a third of the nation watched Trump's interview in preference to the GOP candidate debate. It suggests that the other candidates are NOT where the action is. They are an irrelevant sideshow. Does anyone know their viewing numbers?

It would be interesting to consider how this might reflect on the ratio between MAGA and RINO in the GOP, but I don't now how to stretch the analysis.

It sure means to me that the MAGA people need to hitch their britches and "pull up their socks" (as they say in Zambia) and get intrusively involved in the GOP campaign, to be a watchful presence and, preferably, an indispensable one. The time of carping needs to end, and the time of displacement to begin.

I appreciate plays on words and congratulate you on "repugnican" and will have to remember it.

You get points for a vivid recounting. Also, when a person is going through a furious explosion, their cognitive centers are deranged by emotion and it is likely she had a hard time simply speaking coherently (if it was her). Possibly, she was reading from a short script that somebody else had to write. She may have been coaxed or caged into having the call, just for the sake of "optics." That would be consistent with her later rejection of the election's legitimacy.

Sehr interresant. Apparently the form "stollen" as fruitcake is used with reference to cooking. Elsewhere it can mean tunnels (or adits, drifts, or mining galleries) or cleats (as on shoes). So, it may mean something, but the reference is somewhere between vague and ambiguous.

Thanks for the link. I just finished watching it---though it doesn't start up until about 30 minutes in. Very measured. Nothing sensational.

Interesting point about the Uniparty legislatively closing off the ability of the Vice President to remand dubious votes back to the states (where formerly, they claimed there was no such power). Of course, in my opinion, one does not modify a Constitutional power by legislation, only by amendment, so it would be like legislation to nullify the 2nd amendment---which has been tried repeatedly, but is totally unconstitutional.

Interesting hint that Trump's January 6th crowd may have exceeded 1 million attendees. Which means that the arrested Capitol rioters amounted to a few hundredths of a percent of the total crowd. It is not possible to "incite" a riot and have such an indifferent response. (For such a total number of ordinary citizens, the statistical expectation of violent criminals would be about 4,000 violent actors.) Of the true violent actors, they came with a plan in mind, not in response to anything Trump had to say (and the timeline precludes them from having been in response to Trump, since the Capitol intrusions commenced about 30-45 minutes before he concluded his speech).

Trump offered no answer to the question of whether civil war might be in the making. (My own opinion is that it is not, but that is a different conversation.) Trump did allow that there is great passion at large for the country's welfare and great hatred for the evil that is being pursued. He did not think that is a good situation (and it is not).

It ends at that. But to carry the question forward, what might happen to crystalize an even more militant reaction by the public? I suspect it could easily be another election steal (foreign powers intervening in elections, contrary to Trump's still-active Executive Order) and/or a declaration of war against Russia, be it unilateral or Congressional (intrusion on Trump's possible residual authority as Commander-in-Chief). Under the Devolution theory, there would have to be a "red line" to be crossed before moves could be made, and I think these would be the most serious of red lines. And/or draconic tyranny under the guise of another "pandemic". In the face of war and a pandemic lockdown, is it likely that Biden would suspend elections? I think so, and this would be an even worse provocation to public sentiment. We could be on the brink of civil disobedience.

As I continue to think about this, I am sorry to say it appears to be a scenario for a "perfect storm." This would be the point where the sheep dogs (military) have to stand apart from the sheep (people) and the wolves (government) and say "Mr. President, we are obliged NOT to violate the Constitution, and our duty is to oppose all its enemies foreign and DOMESTIC. Kindly place your hands in these cuffs."

Folks, "stollen" is only a kind of German fruitcake. Not "codespeak" for the biggest dictator of the Soviet Union. Don't wear out your fingers, scratching your heads.

Interesting take. I appreciate the point. Probably true. Makes one wonder how distant the killers are from the kiss-offs. Give a wimp lots of power and he is likely they let his inner sadist out for lunch. As for Jack Smith, he radiates a complete lack of humor in his essential nature. That is extremely unhealthy and, I think, dangerous. Even Bill Barr, for example, as fickle as he may be, still has a germ of humor in his makeup.

Relax. They are always up to something. Don't forget, they have contingency plans for what to do in case "something" pops up. Remember Rahm Emanuel's phrase, "Never let a crisis go to waste" ? (I may have misquoted, but the point is the same.) The fire could be completely accidental. The response, not so much.

I was looking for that, but found a notice that the platform identity (or address) was being withheld until just before the time of broadcast. So...?

Strange you would think so. We have microwave technology operating around aluminum objects all the time for most of a century (radar and airplanes) and there are no sparks. Don't confuse what happens inside a microwave oven with what happens outside of it.

And even if chemtrails were real and aluminum compounds were distributed, the compounds would not react to microwaves in any case.

I've lost the bubble. Not on Fox News Channel, I presume. But where?

I'm not one to "Q-fag", but if that isn't a Q-proof, I don't know what it is.

Even though in a far part of my mind I know about the debate, my emotional reaction was "What debate?" There is so "nothing to see here" about it. I have a visceral rejection of wasted time.

The vertical stripes put me in mind of the Punisher image.

I can't get over the fact that the facial expressions of all these Administration flunkies remind me of remorseless thugs. Like they are perpetually pissed-off at YOU.

So, you think it is a good idea to advertise the location of surveillance cameras around the PENTAGON? Get real. What do you think it would provide, beyond what we already have seen? (And why would you think it?)

There is nothing "obvious." There is only your paranoia. Your thinking process is roughly: "absence of MORE evidence is evidence of conspiracy." No, it isn't. You need to get a grip on your epistemology. There is plenty of evidence. It just doesn't fit the narrative you want...which is a problem with you, not with the evidence.

The masses control their own nutrition, education, and medication---even to the point of abdicating such responsibility and turning it over to keepers. It's not just that there is something corrupt about our government...there is something corrupt about US. Our own inattention, ignorance, cowardice, and fecklessness got us into this pickle. We don't get out of it unless WE change.

"Remote control Falcon jet" (i.e., something other than American Airlines flight 77). Whatever it was, "it came in level a few feet off the ground".

My apology if you were not on board the train. Bad company.
